Every Book I've Read So Far In October!! 🍁🧡

Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

📖 Pages: 357

📄 Blurb: "Shadow and Bone meets Lore in this epic enemies-to-lovers fantasy novel filled with hope, heartbreak, and the unparalleled power of love."

📖 Genre: Historical Fantasy Realism

📄 Thoughts: I personally would not consider this YA (FMC & MMC are 19 and 21, I think?) or enemies-to-lovers. I don't see how this is Shadow and Bone meets Lore...basically, it has weird marketing.

Witchfished by E.F. Watson

📖 Pages: 97

📄 Blurb: "Enoki is looking for a fresh start and some no-strings-attached fun...she packs up her hybrid coffee-apothecary shop, moves to a mountain town in Colorado, and joins a dating app...but something strange is brewing beneath the facade of the cute tourist-filled town."

📖 Genre: Cozy Small Town Paranormal Romance

📄 Thoughts: It was fine. A quick, easy read. Felt a little too obvious/on-the-nose, and had too much going on for such a short story, but overall enjoyable.

Pumpkin Spice & Poltergeist by Ali K. Mulford & K. Elle Morrison

📖 Pages: 218

📄 Blurb: "Get ready for a bewitching tale of love, laughter, and supernatural shenanigans in the heart of Maple Hollow! Grab your broomstick and buckle up for a cozy sapphic paranormal rom-com thats sure to cast a spell on your heart this fall season."

📖 Genre: Cozy Small Town Paranormal Romance

📄 Thoughts: My favorite so far this month. The writing was good, though I felt the romance happened at an exponential speed and was a bit all over the place. Overall, it was cute, fun, and a quick read.

Campfire and Canines by Aly Hollis

📖 Pages: 329

📄 Blurb: "Hazel's quiet getaway takes a wild turn when she discovers she's staying with an actual wolf-shifter pack - and one of them has fallen for her. Cozy fantasy meets rom-com in this standalone shifter romance."

📖 Genre: Paranormal Shifter Romance

📄 Thoughts: Pretty predictable if you've ever read a shifter romance. The lore/world-building could have been better fleshed out, as it felt as though it relied too heavily on the reader already being familiar with shifter tropes. Overall, it was fun but needed more fleshing out.
